1857 American INDIANS Sioux Wild West Exploration George Catlin Tribe Vocabulary

‘Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians’ by George Catlin documents his eight years of travel among various Native American tribes. In this two-volume work, Catlin presents a fascinating portrayal of the daily lives, social structures, and cultural practices of these tribes, accompanied by 150 brilliant in-text and full-page engravings depicting battles, chiefs, expeditions, and village life. Catlin goes to great lengths to describe the various Native American cultures, striving to preserve their way of life during a period of significant disruption due to westward expansion. Catlin, a painter and author, was the first white man to depict these Indians in their native territories, whilst on his travels to the American West.

Notably, this 1857 edition, published by Willis P. Hazard, includes vocabulary of the Mandan, Blackfoot, Riccaree, Sioux, and Tuscarora tribes!
